My husband and I went out to eat at the local rib place last week. Oddly enough, we go there together frequently. While we were there, I found myself staring at the old license plates decorating the walls. There were definitely some unusual personalized ones. I tried to picture the stories behind them. Obviously, the seemingly haphazard words meant something to someone at one time. And then I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be neat if you could take some old license plates and make something out of them? You can probably guess what that something would be too! Unfortunately, I don’t think I am crafty enough for that. However, I did find a piece that looks somewhat like my vision. Introducing the Kate Spade “OFFWEGO” Road Trip License Plate Clutch!

Wow, I have been talking about warmer weather a lot lately! Perhaps it is all the anticipation that has been building. Spring has to get here sometime, right? At this rate though, I think we are going to just go straight into summer. Oh well, if the warm weather won’t come to me… then perhaps I need to go to the warm weather. It is definitely the traveling season now, so I am sure I won’t be the only one looking for some sun and surf. However, before we all dash off to the airport, we need to make sure we have an appropriate carry-on. Recently, I came across the Balenciaga Classic Voyage Carry-On Suitcase and I think I am in love!

Nothing is more awesome than a great Balenciaga handbag. Except, perhaps, for a great Balenciaga suitcase!

What isn’t there to like about this suitcase? I especially love the color – Tangerine! It is sure to put a little spring in your step!

Like other classic Balenciaga pieces, this lovely suitcase features the iconic hardware that this designer is famous for. I love the oversized zipper pull tabs, whipstitch detail, and the cute little lock and key. For convenience, this suitcase also features an expandable handle and interior straps for keeping your clothing in place.

This suitcase is literally a dream come true. The ultimate travel accessory!

Who doesn’t love Hollywood glam? And for that matter, who doesn’t love movies? Nothing captures the imagination like the big screen! Well, it seems Charlotte Olympia couldn’t agree more with that statement. Her line has always been inspired by a bygone era of old Hollywood glamour. But her latest collection has taken this inspiration one step further. Hollywood glitz and glamour has suddenly taken on a more literal sense. Check out the Charlotte Olympia Box Office Pandora Perspex Clutch, for example. I think you will see what I mean!

This lovely clutch has the classic Pandora styling. There are two hinged halves that fasten together on top. Inside you will find the usual detachable zippered pouch. What makes this particular style so interesting is the design on the exterior. The clear perspex features a gold-tone metal adornment that resembles the outline of a film strip. I don’t think you can get anymore literal than that!

The look is certainly different and it would make a great conversation piece. I don’t think you necessarily need a Red Carpet-ready ensemble either. A simple little black dress would pair quite nicely with this piece. It would provide an excellent showcase, emphasizing and calling attention to the gold-tone film strip.

Check out this luscious irregularly shaped shoulder accessory, a true go-anywhere bag. I seriously had to take a double look as I assumed it was a new arrival to Alexander Wang’s handbag collection. In fact, this beauty actually belongs to the ever-growing collection of Rebecca Minkoff.

There are no boundaries when it comes to Rebecca Minkoff’s optimistic picks, as they bravely grasp the attention of all types of fashionista’s. The Quinn Bucket Bag is a winner all around.

It’s ebony black and almond color and natural functionality as a shoulder bag will suit all types of occasions. Smooshy pebbled leather in a voluminous shape gives off a casual chic statement, and the hands-free style is absolutely suitable for heavy shoppers and stylish moms alike.

Founded in Germany in 2004, George Gina & Lucy is relatively new to the handbag world. I am not terribly familiar with the brand. In fact, my only encounters with the brand before now have been passing glances. However, after seeing the George Gina & Lucy Ni’Ihau Yeak Shoulder Bag, I felt compelled to do a little investigating.

George Gina & Lucy is described as an “ever-evolving collection of moving, living works of funky art”. Their handbags are geared toward the fashion-forward and modern woman, while still maintaining a sense of uniqueness that adds an element of playfulness to the mix. And when I look at the George Gina & Lucy Ni’Ihau Yeak Bag, that is exactly what I see! This seasonal-looking handbag features a natural cotton canvas exterior. It is very earthy-looking indeed!

For a little bit of color, this handbag also features a minty green leather panel on the front. The leather is actually woven together in a beautiful basket weave. This light and airy style is perfect for summer! I also like the black and white stripe lining and divided interior, which makes this handbag cute AND functional. Pair it with a floaty sundress for a great casual look!

I have a thing for clutches and if money were no option my closet would be full of them. I was able to score two of the Marc Jacobs clutches that were sold at Target and Neiman Marcus for their designer collaboration during the holidays. I use them both non-stop and what I love about clutches is that you can use them so many ways. Sometimes I store all my makeup in them, important papers, different nail polishes or I carry my essentials in them for the day. They’re so versatile and that’s why the Clare Vivier “Basketweave” Oversized Flat Clutch. Basketweave looks pretty on just about any accessory but the color is also gorgeous. Together the stunning color and basketweave make a lovely clutch that’s perfect for the Spring and Summer.

Rebecca Minkoff never seems to be able to shake my radar. It isn’t her fault though. After all, her designs are always gorgeous! Recently, I have been admiring the Skylar Mini Bag. Wait, let me reword that. I have admired the Skylar Mini Bag ever since its original debut. However, I have recently gained a new admiration for this style. That is because Rebecca Minkoff has put a new spin on it! Meet the Rebecca Minkoff Die Cut Skylar Mini Bag!

Recently, my whole entire style changed. Therefore, I’ve been selling and giving away a lot of my stuff. I sold a majority of my handbags and I’m only down to my Louis Vuitton‘s, which are my precious babies and I’m not selling anymore of them! With that said, I’m currently dying for a black handbag because I sold all of mine! There are so many out there but yet none really catch my eye. However, when I saw the Burberry Orchard Heritage Satchel I was intrigued because I have never been into Burberry before. Burberry is known for their plaid prints and anyone that knows me personally knows I hate plaid. Don’t get me wrong, Burberry has beautiful plaid prints it’s just not for me. The “Heritage” Satchel is definitely my style though and I would love to own this bag.
